How do you change the type of an existing field on an item in 1Password 8?

Hi @SemoTech, thanks for checking in about this! We do apologise for any inconvenience caused here, and I've passed your feedback along to the team.

I don't have any progress updates to share about this at the moment - this is something our team are still looking into, as a lot of field types have become more specialized over time and are not as easily interchangeable. You can keep an eye on our release notes page for news on any new features and bug fixes: 1Password Releases

If you have any additional feedback, let us know 😄

Thanks @1P_Gem, appreciate the reply, even tho it is the same canned reply we have received forever.

We have been waiting since 1PW v8 came out, and while touted as an improvement, v8 seems like a big step backwards. This is also a reason to keep v7 around as long as possible so things like field types can be changed/fixed.

Why not just improve 1PW v7 if you're going to remove great features that have been around forever?

Thank you.
